El Calafate

You will be picked up at your accommodations in El Calafate to travel 45 miles (70 kilometers) to Puerto Bajo Las Sombras. During this tour, the guide will provide information about Los Glaciares National Park and Perito Moreno Glacier. The day before the tour begins at 6:00 P.M., you will be informed via WhatsApp of the exact time and location of the pick-up.

Perito Moreno

The trek will start with a leisurely walk of about ½ mile (1 km) along the shore of the lake. After, your guides will give a short brief on safety and glaciology. Upon reaching the edge of the glacier, subgroups of a maximum of 20 travelers will be organized, each accompanied by two professional guides (creating a ratio of 10 travelers per guide). With their help, you’ll put on your helmet and crampons then begin your ice walk on the Perito Moreno Glacier. For an hour and a half, you’ll get up close and personal with the glacier, walking on the ice and learning about it in depth. You may come to find that its very nature is to change constantly, resulting in a unique itinerary for every tour. Your guide will plan the itinerary on the glacier in a manner that will allow you to see the most formations and have the best experience.
